IOR-LTM has a long-standing tradition for hosting foreign students and research fellows that receive training in a variety of field. In fact, the multidisciplinary nature of the lab, which includes biologists, engineers involved in experimental and theoretical studies, experts in material science a.s.o. makes it an ideal environment for early stage and experienced researchers to broaden their knowledge. This way, students import their background to the Lab (which is a very welcomed contribution), while learning techniques and methodologies that are complementary to their previous studies/experiences. LTM-IOR has a tight cooperation with several national (Bologna, Modena, Ferrara, Turin, Genoa, Rome) and foreign (France, Spain, Germany, The Netherlands, Iceland, UK, Venezuela, Colombia, USA, etc) universities. In fact, Rizzoli took part, both as a coordinator, and as a partner, in several training projects. Over 40 foreign and over 170 Italian students (undergraduate, postgraduate, and post-doc) have been hosted by LTM-IOR in the past 10 years (part of them with TMR, Marie Curie, Tempus and other EU grants). Additionally, LTM-IOR hosts an average of 15 engineering and medical students at different points of their career. It also actively collaborates with the specialization course in the last years of the Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering studies, with LTM staff lecturing at the university, and students attending seminars, tutorials, and training at LTM-IOR.
